Students accepted to the program will be required to submit to a criminal background check facilitated by Marion Technical College and conducted by The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification. Students with certain felony, misdemeanor, or drug related arrests as specified in ORC 109.572, will be ineligible for admission into the program. The Disqualifier List is included in the MLT Admission Packet for review. Students with any criminal background may be ineligible for admission. Potential employers for MLT graduates require criminal background checks as conditions for employment. Individuals who have been convicted of any crime, including felony, gross misdemeanor, misdemeanor, or drug-related arrests may be ineligible for employment. Therefore, completing the MLT program does not guarantee future employment.

Accepted students will also be required to submit to a drug screening upon admission into the program and at least once during the program. Positive drug screenings will result in forfeiture of the clinical/practicum. Students may be subject to drug screens for cause during the program. Any student who refuses/fails to cooperate, or complete any required drug screening will be considered “positive” and dismissed from the program.
